Description
We are small music school looking for a music ear training program to incorporate as a student resource in our website. There are many ear training programs already commercially available, but we haven’t found one that means are exact needs yet.

General concept:

We need a program that plays a random melody whose variables are determined by the user. The goal is to design a program where the user hears a melody and then sings it or plays it back on their instrument (this is a classic example of "music dictation"). The same melody then repeats and the student has another chance to sing/play it correctly or to make adjustments to their first response. After the second time, the program generates a new melody.

It is fundamental that the melodies move in perfect synch with an incorporated metronome, so students internalize the rhythm.

The variables we want the user to be able to control are:

Length of the melody (how many notes it plays)
The range of melody notes (how many different notes it plays and if they are confined to one octave or not)
Speed of the melody
Start note (tonic or starting on any note defined in the range)
Ascending melodies, descending or both
Weighted levels of difficulty (less difficult = more notes that repeat and smaller interval jumps)
Rhythmic possibilities (hole notes, half notes, quarter notes....)
Rhythm played straight or swing
The melodies must be played against an audible metronome
The program must work in all twelve keys
A midi patch of different instruments (melody and percussion)
Keyboard shortcuts (at least space bar for start/stop)
User must be able to control the pause between the two examples of the same melody and in the transition from one distinct melody to another

Design:

We also want a professional, coherent interface that reflects our school's identity (its logo and design aesthetic) and is logical and easy to use.

Website integration:

The program will be incorporated into a protected area of our website and will form part of a virtual library of music resources available to our students.

References and Experience: We are looking for a programmer who can demonstrate music software programming experience and who can provide references for their past work.

Reference Programs:

Ear Guitar:

Download the free version of ear guitar (a flash program) at http://download.cnet.com/Earguitar/3000-2133_4-10447922.html.

When you run the program you'll see that it has many of the features we need, but the rhythm is not steady. Sometimes the length of the melodies vary. Also you can't control the rhythmic variables. It plays quarter notes and only quarter notes and you can't program rests.

Abelton Live

http://www.ableton.com/

Abelton, like many professional music editing programs, also has many of the features we need (it's midi programming options and sound quality are amazing), but it is not designed for ear training, but rather music production. It's learning curve is too big to be practical for our purposes

Melisma Stochastic Melody Generator

http://www.link.cs.cmu.edu/melody-generator/

This program will output a midi file then you have to download and play. It's extremely ugly and difficult to use.

GNU Solfege 3.14.0:

This is a free, open source software, and it has some of the core features we are looking for, but it has a lot of features that we don't need and it's ugly and difficult to use.

We are happy to provide any additional information that you need.

We look forward to receiving your project quote.

Thank you
